    The only way to be what God wants you to be is to be totally sold out for Him.

    I find myself often asking questions about my faith.

And part of me says that I should never admit to ...read more

    The Gnostic gospels were never “lost.” But they have been thrown out many times. We throw garbage away because it’s worthless. Theologically, the Gnostic “Gospels” are every bit as worthless as anything else we throw out. So is "The Secret."

    Other Scriptural passages: Deuteronomy 30:9-14 Colossians 1:1-14 Luke 10:25-37 Psalm 25 or 25:3-9 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

    One way we can improve our worship experience corporately, is to meet with God more fully and intimately each day of the week. The fullest encounter of God is found not just in His presence, but encountering His glory.

Donny" Why did we do testimonies? Testimonies are for praise. Praise is about what God has done. Worship is about who God ...read more
